Dane Cook's Brother Darryl Stole Millions from Him, Hid Cash in Spaghetti Sauce and Disappeared (Exclusive)

Dane Cook's brother, Darryl McCauley, is at the center of a financial scandal involving millions of dollars. The comedian's documentary, Funny Money: The Dane Cook Story, delves into the dark side of his rise to fame, with McCauley being responsible for stealing the comedian's wealth. Set to premiere on September 29, the documentary explores the nature of Cook's relationship with McCauley, who managed the comedian's finances from the 1990s to 2008.

McCauley, a former corrections officer, was arrested in 2008 and charged with stealing $12 million while acting as Cook's business manager. He pleaded guilty to larceny, embezzlement, and forgery and was sentenced to five to six years in prison, with his wife, Erika, receiving a two and a half year sentence for her role in the crimes.

The documentary features eerie phone conversations between McCauley and Cook, hinting at the FBI's involvement in the matter.
